More than 50% of students hail from households earning less than $30,000 annually.

77% are students of color. 80% of CUNY’s 1 million alumni have stayed in New York City, elevating CUNY’s role as an economic engine for America’s largest City and the region. Furthermore, 1 out of every 72 undergraduate/graduate students in America is a CUNY student, making our students’ success a driver of national outcomes.
